Abstract
For decades, Slovakia has maintained a prominent place in mortality rates from cardiovascular diseases among European Union (EU-27) countries. Determination of skin autofluorescence serves as an estimate of tissue accumulation of advanced glycation end products--substances accumulating in tissues and body fluids that play a pathophysiological role in age-related diseases and their complications, such as diabetes.
